Villa Paraiso 2 is in a stunning, quiet, gated community located just a few stairs from the beach, but we rarely even went to the beach. We had our own private cocktail pool right outside on the patio! I spent much of our two weeks sipping cocktails in the pool while watching the most incredible views of the ocean and listening to the palm trees rustle overhead. Sally was an amazing hostess and took care of all our initial provisions (necessities like vodka, whiskey and ice) and answered so many of our questions that we had no trouble at all getting around the area. This villa is much more than we ever expected. It’s HUGE! There were just the two of us, but we could easily have had 3 couples with plenty of privacy and space. The amenities are so much more than listed. The gourmet kitchen and outdoor grill and patio were heaven; the local fresh seafood is too good to pass up, so we ate, huge jumbo shrimp, fresh tuna and red snapper almost daily (grilled, sautéed, ceviche). The Wi-Fi is faster than at home and there’s cable TV and Netflix if you just want to catch a movie at night. The villa is pristine clean, with weekly housekeeping and linen service. We will be returning again; this may become an annual trip for us. We have travelled extensively, stayed in exclusive resorts and sailed on some of the best-rated luxury cruise lines around, but this was truly our most relaxing and beautiful vacation ever. Highly recommended!
